MonoProxy vs ShadowVPN

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a local proxy server for Mac, Windows and other devices on the same LAN. One host and port supports HTTP, HTTPS CONNECT and SOCKS. One purchase. No subscription. No account registration. Start and connect Start in one tap. Share the host, port, PAC URL or QR configuration. Follow listening status, client connections and verified traffic. Use saved profiles with Siri and Shortcuts. Protect your proxy Set the username and password for this proxy service in MonoProxy. When authentication is enabled, connecting devices must enter the same credentials. Restrict access by private network, IP address or CIDR rule, limit connections per client and disconnect sessions. Profile passwords are stored in Keychain. See every connection. Stay in control. • Manage devices with filters, details, related sessions and record export. • Analyze sessions by protocol and destination, with clearer failure stages. • Troubleshoot with diagnostic filters, resource status and report previews before sharing. • Find and organize saved profiles, preview imports and choose what to export. Make it yours Choose a theme and optional ambient audio. Use the Mac setup guide to connect Proxy Companion, available separately. MonoProxy on iPhone provides the proxy; Proxy Companion on Mac can discover proxies, check availability and switch according to its settings. Privacy and background use No analytics SDK or cloud traffic relay. HTTPS tunnels are forwarded without installing certificates or decrypting content. Optional history stays on device and can be cleared. MonoProxy is a local proxy server, not a VPN. Background availability depends on iOS, network conditions and app activity; indefinite background operation is not guaranteed.

ShadowVPN is a minimal, fast, point-to-point VPN client built on the ShadowVPN protocol — a UDP, pre-shared-key, layer-3 tunnel using the shadowsocks AEAD encryption scheme. You bring your own server; ShadowVPN connects to it. Nothing is proxied through us, and there is no account to create. Follow the link to build your own server: https://github.com/madeye/shadowvpn FEATURES • Fast UDP tunnel — a lightweight raw-IP data plane with no SOCKS layer or userland TCP stack overhead. • Strong encryption — shadowsocks AEAD ciphers protect every datagram. • Split tunneling — route only what you need and bypass traffic by country using an on-device GeoIP database. • Multiple profiles — store and switch between several servers. • Traffic obfuscation — optional obfuscation to blend in with ordinary traffic. • On-device only — your keys and configuration never leave your device. • Native & efficient — a SwiftUI app driving Apple's Network Extension, with a compact Rust core for the data plane. ShadowVPN is for users who want a simple, transparent, self-hosted VPN.
